Event Details
The feedback forum is out like a lamb this month with a "soft-media" startup of sorts. I'll leave the actual description to our guest, but I encourage you to check out the site, it's an intriguing niche vertical with a smart set of features.
Our guest this month is Emily Weil, founder of Baffld.
Baffld is a new community-generated advice site focused on love and romance -- something like Yahoo Answers meets Dear Abby. Visitors to the site ask personal questions, and then the community writes responses and votes on answers. Having recently launched, the site faces a range of questions, including:

Baffld is a new community-generated advice site focused on love and romance -- something like Yahoo Answers meets Dear Abby. Visitors to the site ask personal questions, and then the community writes responses and votes on answers. Having recently launched, the site faces a range of questions, including:
- What's the best approach to advertising -- google adsense, direct ad sales, Double Click or Glam Media (or some combination)?
- Should we focus on building out Baffld's feature set or launching Rattld, a comparable site for new parents?
- What's the best strategy for building a user base?
